Hence, a need for unbiased, timely and comprehensive real-world information exists to support informed shared decision-making regarding treatment and care. Aim: To describe a medical device for people l

To be able to survive in the long run the medical device industry of today needs effective development processes and ways to secure quality. These development processes and quality assurance processes must follow the different laws and regulations over the world depending on what market the organisations are established on. Organisations have been developing medical devices and systems over many y

Organ shortage has been a large issue all over the world, almost for as long as there have been organ transplants. Other than the straightforward issues like the organs not matching between the donor and the recipient, limited availability of suitable donors, logistic problems involved with the transplantation procedure etc., another large problem is the sociological perspective on organ transplan

Syftet med studien var att närma oss hur psykodynamiskt inriktade terapeuter som arbetar med barn med traumatiska erfarenheter, upplever sin kliniska verklighet och att få en inblick i på vilket sätt psykodynamisk barnterapi kan göra skillnad för dessa barn. Studien är uppbyggd på en kvalitativ grund och utgår från tolkande fenomenologisk anlays, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis). DaThe aim of the study was to approach how psychodynamically oriented therapists who work with children with traumatic experiences, experience their clinical reality and to gain an insight into how psychodynamic child therapy can make a difference for these children. The study is based on a qualitative basis and is based on interpretive phenomenological analysis, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenologica

Denna avhandling analyserar erfarenheter och förväntningar hos amerikanska studenter som genomför master studier på heltid i Sverige och hur deras monetära värdering av utbildningen, demonstrerat genom betalning av undervisning, påverkar deras studier. Undersökningens syfte är också att utforska hur eleverna anpassar det specifika akademiska habitus som de tar med sig från sina amerikanska utbildnThis thesis analyzes the experiences and expectations of American students conducting full-time master’s studies in Sweden and how their monetary valuation of education, demonstrated through paying tuition, impacts their studies. This thesis additionally aims to explore how students adapt a specific academic habitus during their US educational experiences that they, in turn, bring with them to stu

The purpose of this study was to understand the role of a sustainable lifestyle for self-declared green consumers during Christmas. While such consumers tend to behave sustainably in their everyday lives, the researchers were interested in finding out how this might change in a specific setting, in this case Christmas, which is commonly associated with consumerism in the Western world. Furthermore

The purpose of this thesis has been to investigate and analyze swedish social worker’s experiences of working according to Lean as a work-method. This study was executed in two departments within the social services in southern Sweden. In the municipality in which the study was performed, Lean has been active as a work-method within the public sector for a few years. To better reflect the experien

Alltsedan incitamentsprogrammen introducerades i Sverige med inspiration från USA i mitten på 1900-talet har beskattningen av dem orsakat såväl tillämpningsproblem som debatt. Det handlar om de situationer där ett företag erbjuder anställda aktier i bolaget antingen i form av värdepapper eller personaloptioner. Den förra medför en rättighet direkt, medan den senare innebär en framtida rätt under fSince incentive plans first arrived to Sweden with inspiration from the U.S. in the middle of the 20th century the taxation of the programs have caused application problems as well as debate. The issue concerns situations where an employee is offered shares in the company based on securities or stock options. The employee hopes that he or she will get a piece of the profit in the future, while the

Smältande glaciärer, översvämmade miljonstäder, utrotningshotade isbjörnar, tickande metanbomber, hotande svält och massflykt – det är ingen ljus framtid som väntar oss i klimatkrisens spår. I alla fall om bilden som målas upp i grundskolans läroböcker stämmer. Och vad är då räddningen? Ska man tro böckerna är svaret att våra barn behöver utbildas till klimatsmarta konsumenter. Klimatförändringen The Swedish school has a democratic mandate to prepare students for life in a society where many important decisions need to be made which require an ability to critically examine and evaluate different arguments. This applies particularly to climate change that will bring changes at all levels of society. Textbooks are important for the education provided in schools as they often define the topic

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is one of the three primary anthropogenic greenhouse gases. The agricultural sector accounts for 75.7 % of all anthropogenic N2O emissions in Germany (Umweltbundesamt, 2012). Thus, accurately estimating N2O emissions as well as mitigation strategies for N2O are crucial. This study optimizes the process-based model DNDC to simulate N2O emissions by conventional winter wheat and

The research questions that motivates this study are about the attitudes and practices of students, academic researchers and professors with respect to the file-sharing website Sci- Hub. Previous research on Sci-Hub and file-sharing has confirmed there is still a lack of understanding of Sci-Hub use and users and more insight is required to help solve the problem of illegal file sharing. This stud

All humans are unique, we have different characteristics and we make different decision. This is a challenge when it comes to modelling human behaviour. The models we design are based on mathematics where there is no room for inconsistencies such that are present in human behaviour. So how do we account for this when we try to model human behaviour in evacuation modelling? Most models provide the

With the evolving technology of mobile electronics and other forms of communication methods, an increasing demand of speech intelligibility is introduced. In a conference room for example, multiple microphones are placed directly in front of the speaker in order to pick up clean speech. However, several challenges still exist. For instance the distance between speaker and microphone will not be fi

About 90% of all startups fail to become successful, and the most significant reason is due to premature scaling. Limited research has priorly been conducted in the borderland between startups and supply chain. Explicitly on how a startup should go about defining its supply chain objective and how to measure its performance. Nevertheless, the high-tech startup industry sees potential in gaining in

The overall purpose of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of producing electrofuels from CO2 and H2 in connection to a CHP plant equipped with carbon capture technology. This is done by investigating the production of e-methane, e-methanol and e-kerosene from captured CO2 and H2 produced from electrolysis. Each of the processes is designed and analyzed in Aspen HYSYS. From this, the ene

Att bevara den biologiska mångfalden och därigenom stödja våra ekosystem som tillgodogör oss med livsviktiga ekosystemtjänster är av största vikt. En stor rik mångfald av arter ger ekosystemen egen resiliens och livskraft samtidigt som det har en positiv påverkan på andra ekosystem när de interagerar med varandra. Flera av världens ekosystem och dess arter är under hot av att utrotas. Detta i sinThis literature study aims to investigate prior knowledge of the effects of heavy metals on amphibians in freshwater environments. The methodological approach for the study is based on extensive searches in the database called Web of Science. These searches then gets narrowed down with the help of with strategic search words for the subject at spotlight. The final combination of searched words, to
